For those who didn’t know, my mum has been visiting since before (American) Thanksgiving. W took her to the airport this morning for her trip home.

What we’ve been cooking/eating

Besides the usual Thanksgiving fare, we had a goose last week, smoked in the electric smoker. Yum! Another memorable meal was had at the Anatolian Table out in Rocklin.

What I’ve been knitting

While continuing on with various Christmas gifts, I’ve been working on my Stockings with Clocks from Nancy Bush’s book, Folk Solks. One is finished and the second has about three inches done on it (photos to follow when both are done). Quick knits have been a pair of slippers for Mum from Interweave Knits’ Holiday 2008 magazine, a pair of guest socks (pattern by Raggi), and muffs for the tile guy’s headphones.

Yes, you read that correctly. Wayde was making jokes about my knitting and the young guy’s headphones and so I rose to the challenge, knitting up a pair of muffs for the headphones. His earphones (and hopefully ears!) will stay nice and warm now.
